Meanwhile, Bowe, who has won multiple awards for her contributions to aerospace engineering, revealed that she performed “as a science payload operator flying multiple experiments,” including wearing a BioButton for TRISH, a NASA-funded research institute, to study how women’s bodies respond to spaceflight.

Peter Thomas, principal lecturer in aerospace engineering, said: "We are replacing an old wind tunnel which was harder to maintain with a brand new one, as well as having other additional wind tunnels."

It is estimated there are about 450 students on aerospace engineering courses at the university.

"Two years ago, we demonstrated an aquatic soft robot that was able to reach average speeds of 3.74 body lengths per second," says Jie Yin, corresponding author of a paper on the work and an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University.

"Pieces of space junk are like ticking time bombs," observed Moriba Jah, a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.
